Just change it. Or maybe one year, do both the old tradition, and the new, and let everyone know that it's the last year for the old tradition. That way they can appreciate it one last time and know it won't happen again. But you might upset some people.
One Christmas tradition in England is having people put on masks and perform Christmas Plays. This is called mumming and has been done since the Middle Ages. A traditional dinner in England is eating roasted turkey and having Christmas pudding for desert. Christmas crackers with a silly joke and a paper crown that must be worn during dinner. Mince pies after Christmas pudding. I've never come across mumming.
On Christmast night, it is typical to eat dinner with ones family. There may also be an early exchange of presents before the children go to bed. It is also typical to sing Christmas carols.
If I understand your question correctly..... The German tradition is to put up the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. Once that is done the presents are put under the Christmas tree. Children see the tree for the first time at "Bescherung" the gift giving on Christmas Eve. Not sure how many families still stick to the above tradition.
For Christmas dinner, Australians commonly have the traditional roast turkey or roast ham with roast vegetables, which may be done in an indoors oven or on a Weber barbeque outside. Many Australians also opt for seafood, particularly prawns, to have with salad and roast ham. Some go for the casual approach, with a barbeque at the beach.
The only yoga that can be done even after lunch or dinner is Vajrashana.
It is a tradition to hold a cocktail party during the holidays for some people because it is a time when people like to socialize and unwind. It is often done at Christmas to entertain friends and family.
In Sweden, Christmas is generally celebrated on Christmas Eve. In my family, my parents would decorate the house on the night betweenthe 23rd and 24th December. In the morning, we would have Christmas porridge (risgrynsgröt, rice porridge) for breakfast (although in many families, this is eaten as dessert after the Christmas dinner). At 3pm, most families would settle down to watch an hour of (mostly old) Disney cartoons (yes, really!), a tradition dating back at least to my childhood some 40 years ago. Then you have Christmas dinner, a smorgasbord filled with ham (the main thing), meat balls, sausages, brussels and various other Swedish dishes. Then presents are opened. The next morning, there is a traditional candle-lit Christmas service at church (often at 6am, sometimes at 5am or 7am). That is really the end of Christmas, which means that when the British start celebrating, the Swedes are already done!
they wore mask and went door to door banging lids and clanging cowbells in their neighbourhood. (this tradition is no longer done anymore.)
the story told to me is so the stockings could dry by the fire. small gifts were put in them as a reward for chores done at the Christmas time
The pickle tradition is that the parents hide the pickle on the Christmas tree after the family decorates it. Then, the first child to find the pickle receives an extra present or a special treat. Oddly enough when research was done to discover the origin of this tradition in Germany, most all Germans questioned about the tradition had never heard of it.
That depends on what time you or your Mother or Father makes dinner. Also what you you or your parents are making.
No, I don't think so, they've never done an event like that before.
